"O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts. Lawful for you are the an- imals of grazing livestock except for that which is recited to you [in this Qur’ān] - hunting not being permitted while you are in the state of ihrām. Indeed, God ordains what He intends."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, do not vi- olate the rites of God or [the sanctity of] the sacred month or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of ihrām, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for hav- ing obstructed you from al-Masjid al- Harām lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggres- sion. And fear God; indeed, God is se- vere in penalty."— Sahih Intl
"Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than God, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild an- imal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and"— Sahih Intl
"They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, “Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as God has taught you. So eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of God upon it, and fear God.” Indeed, God is swift in account."— Sahih Intl
"This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believ- ers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture be- fore you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual inter- course or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the He- reafter, will be among the losers."— Sahih Intl
"And remember the favor of God upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, “We hear and we obey”; and fear God. Indeed, God is Knowing of that within the breasts."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, be persis- tently standing firm for God, witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear God; indeed, God is Ac- quainted with what you do."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, remember the favor of God upon you when a people determined to extend their hands [in aggression] against you, but He withheld their hands from you; and fear God. And upon God let the be- lievers rely."— Sahih Intl
"And God had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We de- legated from among them twelve lead- ers. And God said, “I am with you. If you establish prayer and give zakāh and believe in My messengers and support them and loan God a goodly loan, I will surely remove from you your mis- deeds and admit you to gardens be- neath which rivers flow. But whoever of you disbelieves after that has certain- ly strayed from the soundness of the way.”"— Sahih Intl
"So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hard. They distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded. And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, God loves the doers of good."— Sahih Intl
"And from those who say, “We are Christians” We took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that of which they were reminded. So We caused among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. And God is going to inform them about what they used to do."— Sahih Intl
"O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the Scripture and overlook-"— Sahih Intl
"By which God guides those who pur- sue His pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out from darknesses into the light, by His permission, and guides them to a straight path."— Sahih Intl
"They have certainly disbelieved who say that God is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, “Then who could prevent God at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or eve- ryone on the earth?” And to God be- longs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and God is over all things competent."— Sahih Intl
"But the Jews and the Christians say, “We are the children of God and His beloved.” Say, “Then why does He pu- nish you for your sins?” Rather, you are human beings from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills. And to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, and to Him is the [fi- nal] destination."— Sahih Intl
"O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger to make clear to you [the religion] after a period [of suspension] of messengers, lest you say, “There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner.” But there has come to you a bringer of good tid- ings and a warner. And God is over all things competent."— Sahih Intl
"And [mention, O Muhammad], when Moses said to his people, “O my people, remember the favor of God upon you when He appointed among you prophets and made you posses- sors and gave you that which He had not given anyone among the worlds."— Sahih Intl
"O my people, enter the Holy Land [i.e., Palestine] which God has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fight- ing in God's cause] and [thus] become losers.”"— Sahih Intl
"They said, “O Moses, indeed within it is a people of tyrannical strength, and indeed, we will never enter it until they leave it; but if they leave it, then we will enter.”"— Sahih Intl
"Said two men from those who feared [to disobey] upon whom God had bes- towed favor, “Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be predominant. And upon God rely, if you should be believers.”"— Sahih Intl
"They said, “O Moses, indeed we will not enter it, ever, as long as they are within it; so go, you and your Lord, and fight. Indeed, we are remaining right here.”"— Sahih Intl
"[Moses] said, “My Lord, indeed I do not possess [i.e., control] except myself and my brother, so part us from the defiantly disobedient people.”"— Sahih Intl
"And recite to them the story of Adam's two sons, in truth, when they both of- fered a sacrifice [to God], and it was accepted from one of them but was not accepted from the other. Said [the lat- ter], “I will surely kill you.” Said [the former], “Indeed, God only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him]."— Sahih Intl
"If you should raise your hand against me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you. Indeed, I fear God, Lord of the worlds."— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrong- doers.”"— Sahih Intl
"Then God sent a crow searching [i.e., scratching] in the ground to show him how to hide the disgrace of his brother. He said, “O woe to me! Have I failed to be like this crow and hide the disgrace [i.e., body] of my brother?” And he became of the regretful."— Sahih Intl
"Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corrup- tion [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And"— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against God and His Mes- senger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,"— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be ac- cepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment."— Sahih Intl
"[As for] the thief, the male and the fe- male, amputate their hands in recom- pense for what they earned [i.e., com- mitted] as a deterrent [punishment] from God. And God is Exalted in Might and Wise."— Sahih Intl
"But whoever repents after his wrong- doing and reforms, indeed, God will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, God is Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl
"Do you not know that to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He punishes whom He wills and forgives whom He wills, and God is over all things competent."— Sahih Intl
"O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief of those who say, “We believe” with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listen- ers to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [prop- er] places [i.e., usages], saying “If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware.” But he for whom God intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against God. Those are the ones for whom God does not intend to puri- fy their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment."— Sahih Intl
"[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muhammad], judge between them or turn away from"— Sahih Intl
"But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of God? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers."— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to God] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of God, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price [i.e., worldly gain]. And whoever does not judge by what God has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers."— Sahih Intl
"And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribu- tion. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what God has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust]."— Sahih Intl
"And We sent, following in their foot- steps, Jesus, the son of Mary, con- firming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gos- pel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruc- tion for the righteous."— Sahih Intl
"And let the People of the Gospel judge by what God has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what God has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient."— Sahih Intl
"And We have revealed to you, [O Mu- hammad], the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what God has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a me- thod. Had God willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To God is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ."— Sahih Intl
"And judge, [O Muhammad], between them by what God has revealed and do not follow their inclinations and beware of them, lest they tempt you away from some of what God has revealed to you. And if they turn away - then know that God only intends to afflict them with some of their [own] sins. And indeed, many among the people are defiantly disobedient."— Sahih Intl
"Then is it the judgement of [the time of] ignorance they desire? But who is better than God in judgement for a people who are certain [in faith]."— Sahih Intl
"So you see those in whose hearts is dis- ease [i.e., hypocrisy] hastening into [as- sociation with] them, saying, “We are afraid a misfortune may strike us.” But perhaps God will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will be- come, over what they have been con- cealing within themselves, regretful."— Sahih Intl
"And those who believe will say, “Are these the ones who swore by God their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?” Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become los- ers."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - God will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the be- lievers, powerful against the disbeliev- ers; they strive in the cause of God and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of God; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And God is all- Encompassing and Knowing."— Sahih Intl
"Your ally is none but God and [there- fore] His Messenger and those who have believed - those who establish prayer and give zakāh, and they bow [in worship]."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, take not those who have taken your religion in ridicule and amusement among the ones who were given the Scripture be- fore you nor the disbelievers as allies. And fear God, if you should [truly] be believers."— Sahih Intl
"Say, “O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in God and what was re- vealed to us and what was revealed be- fore and because most of you are de- fiantly disobedient?”"— Sahih Intl
"Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from God? [It is that of] those whom God has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of tāghūt. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.”"— Sahih Intl
"And when they come to you, they say, “We believe.” But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And God is most knowing of what they were con- cealing."— Sahih Intl
"And you see many of them hastening into sin and aggression and the devour- ing of [what is] unlawful. How wretched is what they have been doing."— Sahih Intl
"And the Jews say, “The hand of God is chained.”243 Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them ani- mosity and hatred until the Day of Re- surrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], God extin- guished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and God does not like corrupters."— Sahih Intl
"And if only the People of the Scripture had believed and feared God, We would have removed from them their misdeeds and admitted them to Gar- dens of Pleasure."— Sahih Intl
"And if only they upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān], they would have con- sumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate [i.e., acceptable] community, but many of them - evil is that which they do."— Sahih Intl
"O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And God will protect you from the people. Indeed, God does not guide the disbelieving people."— Sahih Intl
"Say, “O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān].” And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and dis- belief. So do not grieve over the disbe- lieving people."— Sahih Intl
"Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muhammad] and those [before him] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in God and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve."— Sahih Intl
"We had already taken the covenant of the Children of Israel and had sent to them messengers. Whenever there came to them a messenger with what their souls did not desire, a party [of messengers] they denied, and another party they killed."— Sahih Intl
"And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then God turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And God is Seeing of what they do."— Sahih Intl
"They have certainly disbelieved who say, “God is the Messiah, the son of Mary” while the Messiah has said, “O Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord.” Indeed, he who associates others with God - God has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers."— Sahih Intl
"They have certainly disbelieved who say, “God is the third of three.”246 And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbe- lievers among them a painful punish- ment."— Sahih Intl
"The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded."— Sahih Intl
"Say, “Do you worship besides God that which holds for you no [power of] harm or benefit while it is God who is the Hearing, the Knowing?”"— Sahih Intl
"Say, “O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclina- tions of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the soundness of the way.”"— Sahih Intl
"Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they dis- obeyed and [habitually] transgressed."— Sahih Intl
"You see many of them becoming allies of those who disbelieved [i.e., the po- lytheists]. How wretched is that which they have put forth for themselves in that God has become angry with them, and in the punishment they will abide eternally."— Sahih Intl
"And if they had believed in God and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient."— Sahih Intl
"You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the be- lievers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with God; and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and be- cause they are not arrogant."— Sahih Intl
"And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses."— Sahih Intl
"And why should we not believe in God and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord will admit us [to Paradise] with the righteous people.”"— Sahih Intl
"So God rewarded them for what they said with gardens [in Paradise] be- neath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of doers of good."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, do not pro- hibit the good things which God has made lawful to you and do not trans- gress. Indeed, God does not like trans- gressors."— Sahih Intl
"God will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that which you feed your [own] families or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find [or afford it] - then a fast of three days [is required]. That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths. Thus does God make clear to you His verses [i.e., revealed law] that you may be grateful."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, indeed, in- toxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than God], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful."— Sahih Intl
"Satan only wants to cause between you animosity and hatred through intox- icants and gambling and to avert you from the remembrance of God and from prayer. So will you not desist?"— Sahih Intl
"And obey God and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notifi- cation."— Sahih Intl
"There is not upon those who believe and do righteousness [any] blame con- cerning what they have eaten [in the past] if they [now] fear God and believe and do righteous deeds, and then fear God and believe, and then fear God and do good; and God loves the doers of good."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, God will surely test you through something of the game that your hands and spears [can] reach, that God may make evident those who fear Him unseen. And whoever transgresses after that - for him is a painful punishment."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, do not kill game while you are in the state of ihrām. And whoever of you kills it intentionally - the penalty is an equiva- lent from sacrificial animals to what he killed, as judged by two just men among you as an offering [to God] de- livered to the Ka’bāh, or an expiation: the feeding of needy people or the equivalent of that in fasting, that he may taste the consequence of his mat- ter [i.e., deed]. God has pardoned what is past; but whoever returns [to viola- tion], then God will take retribution from him. And God is Exalted in Might and Owner of Retribution."— Sahih Intl
"Lawful to you is game from the sea and its food as provision for you and the travelers, but forbidden to you is game from the land as long as you are in the state of ihrām. And fear God to whom you will be gathered."— Sahih Intl
"God has made the Ka’bāh, the Sacred House, standing for the people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. That is so you may know that God knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that God is Knowing of all things."— Sahih Intl
"Say, “Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you.” So fear God, O you of understanding, that you may be successful."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you. But if you ask about them while the Qur’ān is being revealed, they will be shown to you. God has pardoned it [i.e., that which is past]; and God is Forgiving and For- bearing."— Sahih Intl
"God has not appointed [such innova- tions as] bahīrah or sā’ibah or wasīlah or hām. But those who disbelieve in- vent falsehood about God, and most of them do not reason."— Sahih Intl
"And when it is said to them, “Come to what God has revealed and to the Mes- senger,” they say, “Sufficient for us is that upon which we found our fathers.” Even though their fathers knew noth- ing, nor were they guided?"— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To God is your return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do."— Sahih Intl
"O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of] two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by God if you doubt [their testimony, saying], “We will not exchange it [i.e., our oath] for a price [i.e., worldly gain], even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of [i.e., or- dained by] God. Indeed, we would then be of the sinful.”"— Sahih Intl
"But if it is found that those two were guilty of sin [i.e., perjury], let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by God, “Our testimony is truer than their tes- timony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers.”"— Sahih Intl
"That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objec- tive, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear God and listen [i.e., obey Him]; and God does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."— Sahih Intl
"[Be warned of] the Day when God will assemble the messengers and say, “What was the response you received?” They will say, “We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen” -"— Sahih Intl
"[The Day] when God will say, “O Je- sus, Son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Pure Spirit [i.e., the angel Gabriel] and you spoke to the people in the cradle and in ma- turity; and [remember] when I taught you writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and when you de- signed from clay [what was] like the form of a bird with My permission, then you breathed into it, and it became a bird with My permission; and you healed the blind [from birth] and the leper with My permission; and when you brought forth the dead with My permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from [killing] you when you came to them with clear proofs and those who disbelieved among them said, “This is not but ob- vious magic.”"— Sahih Intl
"And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, “Believe in Me and in My messenger [i.e., Jesus].” They said, “We have believed, so bear witness that in- deed we are Muslims [in submission to God].”"— Sahih Intl
"[And remember] when the disciples said, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven? [Jesus] said, “Fear God, if you should be be- lievers.”"— Sahih Intl
"They said, “We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses.”"— Sahih Intl
"Said Jesus, the son of Mary, “O God, our Lord, send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers.”"— Sahih Intl
"God said, “Indeed, I will send it down to you, but whoever disbelieves after- wards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds.”"— Sahih Intl
"And [beware the Day] when God will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides God?'” He will say, “Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself."— Sahih Intl
"I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship God, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a wit- ness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness."— Sahih Intl
"If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You for- give them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.”"— Sahih Intl
"God will say, “This is the Day when the truthful will benefit from their truthful- ness.” For them are gardens [in Para- dise] beneath which rivers flow, where- in they will abide forever, God being pleased with them, and they with Him. That is the great attainment."— Sahih Intl
